Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon: Comédie en quatre actes by Labiche and Martin

"Le Voyage de Monsieur Perrichon: Comédie en quatre actes" by Eugène Labiche and Édouard Martin is a comedy first performed in 1860. Two young men compete for the hand of Henriette Perrichon during her family's vacation to Chamonix. When one suitor saves Mr. Perrichon's life, an unexpected problem arises: the rescue seems to embarrass him. The rival suitor cleverly engineers a situation where Perrichon becomes the hero instead. This shrewd comedy explores vanity, gratitude, and the contradictions of bourgeois pride. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
